Ingredients

1/2 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons butter
Salt
8 thin slices sourdough bread
Oil, for oiling plate
1 small disk washed-rind cheese, such as Camembert

Directions

1

Cook the maple bread in two batches: Heat a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and, when hot, add 1/4 cup of the maple syrup, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter and a pinch of salt.
2

Add 4 slices of the bread and immediately flip to coat in the buttery maple syrup.
3

Cook, flipping often with a butter knife, until the bread is lacquered with the syrup and takes on a toasted look and the bottom of the pan is coated with just a dry film, about 4 minutes.
4

Transfer the maple bread to a lightly oiled plate to cool.
5

(Repeat the process with the remaining pieces of bread.)
6

Smear a chunk of soft cheese into the bread and serve immediately.
